CCTV Surveys Plumbing & Drainage Direct Ltd carries out CCTVsurveys at properties on a regular basis. We have a wide range of equipment that helps us to find out what the problem is, where the problem is and what we need to do to solve it for you. Our experience and attention to detail mean that you can be sure that your drains will work efficiently after we have carried out work for you, that’s a guarantee! Many drainage systems are old and can suffer from damage. This is true of both commercial and domestic properties, and where property has remained in the same ownership for many years, and there has been no need for new drainage to be installed, it is important to make sure that the system is still working well. Advances in technology have allowed drain professionals to inspect drainage systems that previously would have been expensive and time consuming to undertake. We do this by using CCTV systems. This equipment allows us to feed a small camera into the drainage system using a flexible cable. The camera then transmits images back to a screen so that the drainage expert can see where problems are occurring. Using the CCTV system allows us to identify blockages, lime-scale, damage, cracks and tree roots. Once we know what and where the problems are, we can decide on the best approach for solving them. All drain inspections come with a written report including details of faults, if any, dimensions, recommendations and a quote to rectify any problem that may be found. At your request we can also make a copy of the inspection

Water Test (WT) Leaking drains very often go undetected for years or decades, but if close to the building, the ground beneath the foundations can be weakened by the water, resulting in subsidence. It is for this reason that Surveyors may request a CCTV drain survey and drainage report when they have seen cracking or other indications of foundation movement. In these cases, a water, or hydraulic, test is required. This involves plugging the drain at the lower end, filling it up with water, then waiting to see if it holds the water or if it leaks away. When the plug is removed, the water should flow away rapidly to indicate that the drain is not blocked. There may be several sections of the drainage, each of which will require testing separately.
